Do you eat chickpeas? Growing up I don't remember my mom using chickpeas in the kitchen. It wasn't till I met my in-laws and had dinner over at their house, I tried chickpeas for the first time. Ever since I have been loving chickpeas.

Why should you incorporate chickpeas into your diet?

Because chickpeas have healthy benefits. They help with weight-control, digestion, inflammation, cholesterol level, and help with blood, bone and heart health. Try chickpeas in a quinoa chickpea salad!

What other benefits does this salad bring?

This Quinoa Chickpea Salad is perfect for those on a gluten-free diet. The quinoa is the source of gluten-free and a high protein grain. Quinoa is also a low-fat protein option. Another great thing about this salad, parsley. This vegetable green is teeth strengthening and immune system boosting. One more ingredient I will mention, the olive oil, really benefits your skin. Along with that, olive oil can hold your blood pressure low and keep the gallbladder healthy.
